Sintesi	A Regularized Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) adds a small positive constant to the diagonal of each component covariance matrix during the Expectation-Maximization algorithm, preventing singular or near-singular matrices that cause numerical failures when the data are sparse, high-dimensional, or contain near-duplicate observations.	The Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Model places prior distributions over all mixture parameters and infers their posteriors — typically via Variational Bayes or MCMC — rather than fitting fixed point estimates. This yields principled uncertainty quantification, automatic selection of the effective number of components, and resistance to overfitting small datasets.
